I purchased both this Kingsley applicator and the one by Aquasentials Easy Lotion Applicator - both of which are listed as "Prime" and very similarly priced.

I actually bought the Aqua first, but because of a shipping delay, decided to also buy this one 5 days later, and the Kingsley arrived first/on time (the Aquasentials took 11 days to arrive).Both applicators are very similar, but there are some distinct differences.

Similarities include:Made from a very firm closed cell foam (so lotions are not absorbed into the applicator) - both washed up easily with no lotion-feeling residue.Wooden HandleRope HangerPlastic storage cover

The differences:The head on the Aquasentials has a ridged edge (can easily be seen in my pictures). The head on the Kingsley is a smooth oval - which I preferred for both sensation and usability (no creases for the lotion to collect in and be unusable)The head on the Kingsley is slightly smaller, but because it is smooth (without the edge), I think the usable surface is about the same.The foam of the Aquasentials is slightly firmer/denser but also thinner (I didn't find that this made any difference, but mentioning it for clarity).The overall length on the Kingsley is longer by about 1" - but the Aquasentials has a bit more curve. I preferred the longer length of the Kingsley.

Overall, even though both worked as described, if I were to only purchase one of these, the Kingsley would be my definite choice.

works great, wood handle is long enough and angled just right.foam pad is a good size and easy to clean !

Update: after using this twice a day for the last 10 days to applya prescription cream and moisturizers i'm very impressed. thefoam pad material does not absorb anything and evenly spreadscreams or lotions ! this is amazing for the price !

This lotion applicator is a perfect size; the handle is a perfect length. The pad is made of what feels like dense Styrofoam with a very smooth surface. It feels durable. That's the only thing I like about it. My complaint is that lotion slides right off of the pad onto skin and will not spread. I use rather thick lotions, so maybe if the lotion was thin and more watery, it would spread better. It does not work for me, though. Previously, I had a sponge applicator and I liked that much better. It wasn’t as durable as this one appears to be, but I could at least spread lotion over my back with it. If you use heavy lotions, or body cream, I would not recommend this.

I suffer from chronic dry skin and have always had issues getting moisturizer on the tough to reach areas of my back. The constant itching in the winter can be maddening. I just finished using this product for the first time and it's incredible. I was able to reach everywhere I needed and cleanup was simple and fast. I just wish I would have found this device sooner!

This is a fantastic product. I hurt my wrist and was unable to wash or oil my back properly. The weight is very light (a child can pick it up). I use coconut oil with shea butter added to it. I don't know what type of material this is but it doesn't absorb the oil like a sponge (thumbs up!). I use this along with the Kingsley Lotion Applicator On Wood Handle. A great duo for me. The loofah isn't hard on the kingsley. It's a gentle scrub. This was a life saver for me. Thanx :-)

UPDATEI've used my applicator for approximately 4 months now and it's still holding up. I've also washed it without any issues. I'll put water on my hand and wet the foam. Then I apply hand soap to the foam and just rub to clean it. I air-dry it and it's good-to-go.
